The Blue Mountains Tree Trust is looking for volunteers to help with a tree-care event planned for May 13.
Last year, more than 100 community volunteers planted over 500 trees along the Georgian Trail. Throughout the summer, volunteers assisted with watering the baby trees to ensure the infant trees survived and thrived.
This year, volunteers are needed to help with tree care activities such as applying mulch and compost, clearing competing vegetation and watering. These are essential steps needed to help ensure the trees have high survival rates.
The tree-care activities are being held on May 13 starting at 10 a.m. at the Northwinds section of the Georgian Trail (Grey Road 19 and Highway 26) and at 2 p.m. at the 10th Line section of the Georgian Trail (just west of Thornbury, near Goldsmith’s).
Those interested in volunteering can send an email to [email protected] indicating the location/time and the number of people who will attend.
